In 2012, Susan Stripling Mautner was named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers by American Photo. She photographs 50 weddings a year. She has been at this for about 15 years now. When she gets up on stage, people pay close attention to what she has to say about the wedding photography industry.

So, it's no surprise that she just launched The Dynamic Range, a repository for all her thoughts on the subject of photography. I got an exclusive opportunity to speak with her about The Dynamic Range and why she chose to create a new space that includes a blog and a storefront where you can learn from her blog or buy her ebooks and other resources.

Mark your calendars, from Friday the 28th of November through December 2nd, Susan is offering everything on The Dynamic Range at 30% off! So, bookmark this page now or click here to put your favorite ebooks into your cart.

Want to see what one of her ebooks looks like? Add your name and email to her list (find the form at the top right hand corner of her site) and she'll send one out to you to check out. I believe right now she is offering the one on how to photograph wedding ring shots. Her imagery is one of the finest and she is about to tell you exactly what she does to achieve those results. So, what are you waiting for? Go visit The Dynamic Range now!

Sean Kernan is a photographer, teacher and author based in Connecticut. He often teaches at the Maine Media Workshops + College.

We sat down to talk about his new book, Looking Into The Light, which helps photographers resuscitate their sense of discovery and wonder through exercises and practice. It is, as Kernan says, a workshop in a book, so it isn't something you should read cover to cover in one sitting. It is to be nibbled at and examined in a mindful manner.

These exercises will “let you be empty and expectant” at the same time, allowing you a “spaciousness of mind,” for injecting a sense of play and imagination into your photography style.

Grab this random chapter from the book to get a sense of what is in the book. I think you will really like it! And, if you do buy the book, please come back here and share with me the results of the exercises. How did you feel before reading and doing the exercises and then after it? What changed in you? Were your images different in some way? How do you think the suggestions Kernan makes improved you and or your photography?

If you are still on the fence, please take a look at all the speakers who will be coming to Portland.
